PAT test not working

[jorisfrenkel]

I installed the PAT Add-In and try to run the Level1 test, but it's not working. Trying to find out why. It creates the SystemInfoFile, but it looks like it can't find the file afterwards.

On a different configuration it works without problems.

Any clue?

Hey @jorisfrenkel 

I would try running "wmic path win32_VideoController get name" in an elevated command prompt to see if this is able to be found in terms of the process itself. It also could be a path issue, you may try adding "C:\Windows\System32\wbem" to your system environmental variables. I would also attempt to run the script as administrator as well just to check that off!

Thanks!

Your reply pointed me in the right direction.

Since I am working on Windows 11, wmic is not available anymore, so Powershell has to be used.

I had to replace one line in GenerateSystemInfo.py, located in the ..\ProPAT\Tests\Uses_ArcPy\Common subfolder:

Old line:

GPU = subprocess.check_output("wmic path win32_VideoController get name")

New line:

GPU = subprocess.check_output(["powershell.exe", "(Get-WmiObject Win32_VideoController).Name"], shell=True)

I am not sure if this is the whole solution. Maybe there are other places in the tool where Powershell needs to be used.
